Mourinho Gives Solanke Hope for Arsenal Match


Anglo-Nigerian forward Dominic Solanke might be involved in the London Derby between Arsenal and Chelsea on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, if words from Blues manager Jose Mourinho should be believed.
The former Real Madrid, FC Porto and Inter Milan gaffer confirmed that Didier Drogba has recovered from a minor ankle injury to lead the attack against the Gunners, but Loic Remy (calf) and Diego Costa (hamstring) face late fitness tests.
 
''This week, because we are not sure about him, we decided Solanke wouldn't play yesterday with the Under-21s, also to have him fresh and ready,'' Mourinho said.
 
''So it will be Didier and Solanke, or Didier and Diego. We make that decision tomorrow. But Diego is there for Leicester if not Arsenal.''
 

Solanke, who has been tipped by Mourinho to be an England international in the future, is still eligble for Nigeria at senior level.
